Meaning
This reads as a warning dressed as a riddle. It suggests that keeping company with the wrong person, or carrying the wrong burden, can disturb rest and send peace slipping away, even in dreams. It lands in a situation where someone ignores a clear emotional cost, only to find that what they let near them follows them into the night.
